“Change in beneficial interest of dsm symphony foundation 1,255,520.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the association and recognize a tax liability (or asset) for an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the internal revenue service. Management has evaluated their material tax positions and determined there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The association is subject to routine audits by tax authorities; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes the association is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2020.”
